Newbie - tank spitting liquid?

[Oxford17]

Hey,
I've recently got a smok alien 220w, in my attempt to quit smoking. It's worked best out of all the things I've tried, so I definitely want to keep vaping. However, my Alien is spitting liquid at me almost every time I take a puff. It's not enough to put me off, but it's not pleasant, and I'd like to fix it if I can.
Any help would be really appreciated

check your wattage, coils, etc... my experience with spitting atomizers is due wrong wattage settings... also... don't overfill the tank...

You likely have a flooded atty. could be due to a lousy coil or insufficient tightening of the atty. you can fix it temporarily by removing the excess liquid. Either with a q tip or simply by shaking it out

Welcome To ECF. When you fill tank leave an air bubble at top.

Yes spitting is often caused by overfilling (you can also blow out of the air holes if it's bottom airflow and that may fix the problem, use a napkin or paper towel to catch the excess liquid.) You also might not have your atomizer screwed in tightly enough. Spitting *can* be caused by overheated e--liquid so you may want to look at your wattage and airflow settings too, to see if that helps the problem.. Has it happened with more than one coil? If not, it's possible changing a coil might help, but I would try the remedies above (including above my post) first.

I'm glad you are liking your smokalien and finding it helpful, hope you get it worked out.

Had the same problem with Baby Beast Tank and SMOK Alien. I sucked in the after refill, with vents close, and it went away (plus a juice with High VG helps)

Spitting Aliens is Hollywood stuff.
I am sure your Alien is not to blame. Which tank came with the kit?
We need to know more information to help you. Tank, coil, watts etc.

Those are all good ideas. How much wattage are you using? Welcome to the board.
